SHOPPERS' NAIL CLEANING AND 'POLISH'ING SET? Application filed September small, .neat, compact and ornamental nail cleaning and-- polishing set, suitable for carrying in a ladys hand bag; or in a mans pocket.

Said set consists of certain elements or members arranged-to be assembled into; a

single,- self-containedunit, which comprises a nail-polish: container, a nail-bleach container, a nail-stick and a file; 011E201: said members-is adapted to carry a buflingmaterial.

The construction of my improved nail cleaningand polishing set is fully described in the following specifications and is also illustrated in. the accompanyingdrawings, in which:

Figs. 1 to 6 illustrate-one form ofmy device,- which,i'or the purposes of this specification, will be termed the-preferred. form and Figs. 7 to 14 illustrate a modified form.

N ither of these forms can be said to have material preference over the other, and the main reason for the modification lies in the fact that one form is better adapted-to con-.

tain certain kinds of manicurematerial than the other; furthermore. one form may be somewhat better adapted to be made of such material as bakelite, hard rubber, celluloid, and similar material, and the other form, somewhat better adapted to be made of metal.

The various figures of the drawings are as follows:

form here shown.

The construction of said preferred.-form; as illustrated in said- Figs. 1 to 6' Will be. first described; .it'is however,pointed out.

that a description of either formmay :appl'r generallyto both.

This construction comprises-:- a tubularbody or case 1, havingupoir one"sidetliereof a longitudinally-disposedeXtensionwZ; arranged for-the removable carrying; Or attachment ofa butler member 3, which is adapted to receive and earl-ya bufler ma terial 4, such asfelt or CllELlDOlS-Sklllr.

Said bufler member 3 is-removably atwv tached to or carried by the lower face/oi" saidhextensionfl preferably by means ot'a T-slot 5, and in casea T-slot isiseleeted, said bufler member is suppliedwith aw-co-operating, T head- 5 (see Fig. 14:) adapted to slide longitudinally in said T-slot. It will be readily understood that any, other formof securing device may be substituted for said slot.

The bore of-said tubular body-ormase1 extends entirely through said body; andone end of said bore is supplied with a,:reuiovableclosure member 6, which is also bored out from its inner end to receive and: hold one end of a stick? of nail-polish. The other end of said case is also provided/with a removable closure element for sa-idbore, as shown at 8, and which; may beidentical in form: and construction with the element 6;- or it may differ therefrom, in accordance With the particular function for whichit is employed. As shown in Fig. 3, however. a

in which 17 represents the closure element for the container 16.

In case a partition is desired in the bore of case 1, this may be supplied in the form of a close-fitting cork disc 10, which has the advantage of being adjustable longitudinally of the bore in which it fits, and may be positioned longitudinally thereof as required.

Said extension 2 is provided with a receptacle or chamber 11, for the reception of manicure accessories such as a nail-stick 12, also a nail-file if desired. Said receptacle is so formed and positioned that said buffer member 3 forms a cover or closure therefor and thus serves to retain within said receptacle, 11, such accessories as may be placed therein.

In this form of my device a nail-file, or its equivalent is preferably carried at 13 between case 1 and said member 3.

The modified form of construction illustrated in Figs. 7 to 1 1, differs in one respect from the previously-described, Fig. 1 form in the fact that the dimension (4 in the modified, or Fig. 7 form is shorter than the corresponding dimension a in the Fig. 1 form, and the container 11 is transposed to the buffer member 8.

Inasmuch as many of the reference numerals of the foregoing description may be applied to identical parts of the modified form, they will be so employed in the following description of said modified form as follows: v

The reference numeral 1 represents the tubular case, the reference numeral 2 indicates the buffer extension, 3 the buffer member, 4 the buffer material, 5 the T-head of said bufier member, and 11 the container, which, as previously stated is in said member 3.

In this modified form the closure elements lei and 15 for the boreof case 1 are made in the form of tubular containers, as illustrated in Figs. 10 and 12. The tube or body 16 of these closure-containers may vary in length if required, and the inner, open end of each may be supplied with a cork or closure 17. This form of closure-container is especially adapted ,tocarry a nail-polish in the form of a powder. Their construction is such as to adapt them to contain and carry a liquid if desired.

In this modified form of buffer member, the buifer material a is shown as being secured to the member 3 by means of a metal band or hoop 18.

Reference is hereby made to my co-pend ing application for a patent on a shoppers nail cleaning and polishing set, Serial No. 7 25,88 1, filed on the 14th day of July, 1924.
